Controversial 'Islamorealism' Ads Go Up In Metro-North Stations In Westchester An anti-Islamic advertisement has gone up at several Metro-North Railroad stations in Westchester County. It reads: "It's not Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , it's Islamorealism."
The Defense Initiative is led by blogger and political activist Pamela Geller.
The group won a federal court decision this summer that said the MTA violated its First Amendment rights when it rejected one if its ads, WCBS 880′s Paul Murnane reported. Some Metro-North commuters were shocked to see the ads early Friday morning, but others didn't see it as much of an issue. "I think generally you want to be neutral with advertising if they're getting a lot of complaints," one person said. "Maybe some people are offended, but today, people are so easily offended by so many things," another said. Last month, pro-Paleostinian and pro-Israel ads appeared at Metro-North stations | ||

#7 MH, listen to Tayip Erdogan the Islamic head of Turkey. " Ms. Geller's one possible mistake in all this is to associate the 19,000+ attacks as "Islamic" instead of "jihadist". He says, as do many of his leadership ilk, that it is an insult to imply that there is a difference between the two. There is no moderate Islam, Islam is Islam. You should believe people that tell you that they want to kill you. |

#4 Ms. Geller's one possible mistake in all this is to associate the 19,000+ attacks as "Islamic" instead of "jihadist". By not making this clear distinction, I think she's given some ammo to her numerous Islamic detractors. Otherwise she is spot on. |

#1 Islamophobia is a word invented by the Muslims and the left. It is just so much cow-pucky. If you are pro-Palestinian, you are: 1. In favor of the techniques of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran? 2. In favor of the destruction of Israel? 3. Hate Israel and teach hatred in your schools, 4. Send suicide bombers into Israel? 5. Promote Sharia law and the supremacy of islam? So if you are against these things and terrorism, you are Islamophobic? |
